Topping and Harvesting Tobacco

Florida is becoming quite tobacco-grow-
ing State. In comparatively few years it
is probable that it will more than double its
present product. Tobacco plants should be
topped when the leaves are making their
most vigorous growth, SO that after topping
they will continue to grow and attain the
highest degree of perfection. The flower
stalks should be pinched off below the third
upper leaf. It is not advisable to defer top
ping till the flowers open, else the leaves will
not make as good growth and the plants
will run largely to suckers. These suckers
have to be frequently removed. The proper
time for harvesting depends upon varied
circumstances. Under average conditions
the plants are allowed to stand fifteen days
after being topped; in dry and hot season
the leaves will ripen in thirteen or fourteen
days, and in cold, wet weather sixteen to
eighteen days may be required As the leaves
mature they become darker in color and as
sumo notified OF marbled appearance;
they also lose the fine down on their under
side and appear thicker and leathery to the
touch, while previously they were soft.
The leaves should not be cut until the dew
upon them has entirely evaporated. On hot
days not more should be cut than can be
brought under cover the same day, else
there is danger of sunburn; and when cut
ting the plants the butts should be placed
toward the sun. After the plants have
wilted sufficiently, so that they may be
handled without breaking the leaves, they
are placed in piles of twenty or twenty-five
each Five or seven plantsa are then put on
each lath, according to the size of the plants,
and these laths are conveyed to the shed
upon, platform wagon Or rack especially
made for the purpose. In theshed the laths
should be six or seven inches, to admit of
free circulation between he plants.

Shrinkage of Corn.

Prof. Scoville. of Kansas, has been ex-
perimenting to ascertain the shrinkage in
corn after it is ripe and placed i'll the crib
Reports of his tests are given in the Kansas
City Indicator From which we learn that
six different varieties, weighed Oct. g. and
stored in room without any artificial heat,
showed an average shrinkage Of 1873 per
cent. 80 days after storage. One variety
lost a little over per cent. while with an
other the loss was 25 per cent. On Feb. rs,
l45 days from date of gathering, the lot
was weighed, and the average loss on the
whole amounted to 212$ per cent, and in
one variety, called the mammoth, the loss
was exactly one-third, or 3351s per cent.
From the above the farmer may make a
very close calculation as to the advance in
price of corn which he must obtain in spring
to make it equal to the loss sustained in
shrinkage during winter.

feet high. Rake the soil from circle round
the stake and form it into sort Of ''eircus
ring. 4 feet in diameter with the stake in
| the centre. Cover this bed with dry pine
straw or broom-sedge foot thick Place
the potatoes around the stake, piling them
up as steep as they can be made to lie until
80 or 40 bushels are heaped. Now cover
with thick coat of pine-straw or corn
stalks or other dry material, disposing the
stalks regularly around the bank If no
corn-staiks, use boards, breaking joints
carefully. Then cover the hill thus formed
with earth dug from Immediately around
the base of the hill until several inches
thick, forming trench around the base for
drainage. As the weather grows colder in
crease the thickness of the earth on the hill
it attains thickness of foot or more be-
fore extreme cold weather occurs. The
points to be observed are Dig when the
growth of the potato is suspended from dry
weather; cover with plenty of material that
will keep them dry and of even, uniform
temperature Shelters over the hills are
not needed if the directions be well fol-
lowed. The thick covering of straw, or
corn-stalks and earth, will prevent the po-
tatoes from becoming either too hot in
warm weather, or too cold in cold wealth
er, or wet in rainyweather. Cover the apex
with pieces of bark or board.

Manl1ria.l Wasta

Under the title of Money Running Away,
Prof Roberts, of Cornell University, makes
this estimate of waste from hillside barn
yard: At Cornell there were 81 inches of
rainfall in the year. The barnyard is 10O
by 100 feet, about one-quarter of an acre.
Every inch of rain would make lotions for
an acre, or $500 for the year to an acre, or
500 tons for the barnyard If one-half was
leased out it would be 400 tons. Each ton
of water leached out would carry off 60c.
worth of plant food or $3.50 worth from the
barnyard. 1t is true, the inky streams run
ming from the barnyard down the road into
the creek or on the neighbours lot is the best
part of the manure. 1t is money running
away, indeed.

Popular Science.

One of the largest britannia firms in New
England recommends the following to clean
silver: One-half pound of sal-soda added to
eight quarts of water: when at boiling
heat dip the pieces Of silver, and immedi-
ately wash in soapsuds and wipe dry with a
piece of cotton flannel.
popular fallacy, according to Mr.. A.
w. Hare, of the Royal Society of Edin-
burgh, is the belief that water from rush
ing torrent Is safer for drinking purposes
than water from a sluggish stream, for the
reverse is really the fact. Sewage-contami-
mated water contains fewer organisms after
ten or twelve days than river water, for the
reason that the microbes rapid growth
during the first two or three days exhausts
their food supply.
The purity Of the mid-Atlantic air has
been demonstrated by Prof f. s. Dennis, of
New York, by means Of capsules Of steril-
lied gelatine, which were exposed to it on
the promenade dock, where there was free
circulation of the atmosphere, IN ten days
a few points OF infection we're developed.
When exposed in one of the state rooms
over 800 points Of infection were developed
within Is hours. But when capsule was
exposed over the bow of the ship it was
found to be entirely untouched. The ex-
periments show how pure was the nid-ocean
air outside the enclosed spaces Of the vessel.
Mr.. Frank Spence has devised hydrome-

The Use of Salt.

writer in the London horticultural
Times says that thirty years. successful Use
of salt upon all kinds of crops was perfectly
satisfactory to him. 1t should not be used
on cold, heavy or moist soils, and if any one
does he will be disappointed in the result,
as its tendency is to keep the ground cool
and moist. 1t will do such soil more harm
than good. 1t should not be cast upon very
young or tender. plants of any kind, as it
will be very sure to kill them. Judgment
should be employed in using SO strong an
agent Il had friend who heard me re-
commend salt on onion beds, when strictly
urged that it should be dragged or worked
In before the seed was sown; but forgetting
what said, he did not salt until the onions
were about two inches high, and it killed
them all; but sowing another crop properly
it turned ont splendidly. Had he waited
until tho tops were as big as large pipe
stem, he might have covered the ground an
inch deep and his onions would have done
finely" Onions should be sown on the same
ground year after year, as they continue to
improve There are yards hundred years
old and their yield would astonish the COM
mon grower. The tops when cut off should
be scattered over the ground do not leave
them in Jumps, as they make the best food
for the growing onions; then sow salt and
put on coat of manure. Salt is not much
of fertilizer in itself, though plants take

enjoyed the effect than otherwise; but, while
those are pretty fair land performances, we can
actually show a piano that even Old Ocean
